Chapter 1388 The Call of the Stars (XIV)

"Seriously, how long have you not taken a shower?" On the highway in Colorado, Star Lord Quill looked at the raccoon in the passenger seat with his eyebrows raised. He shrugged his nose hard and said with disdain: "I feel that your body is a little fermented, with a strange smell."

"It's worse than that. Maybe I just passed out in the bar last night and was covered in vomit."

"Ugh! Damn it, get out of the car quickly, I'm going to the lake next to you to rinse you off!" Quill stepped on the accelerator and almost hit the raccoon who was not wearing a seat belt on the windshield, but even if he didn't really fly up, Rocket Raccoon's head hit the car hard.

"Oh my God!" Rocket Raccoon cursed in a language Star-Lord couldn't understand, and then said, "I lied to you, I'm a raccoon, raccoons love cleanliness, don't you know?"

"No, you have to get out of the car, I have to check your hygiene and make sure you don't have any infectious diseases... Oh my God, is there any wildlife inspection and quarantine law here? Someone come and save me."

Quil got out of the car without saying a word. He walked along the front of the car and wanted to go around to the co-pilot side, but Rocket Raccoon jumped onto the driver's seat with his hands and feet, rushed under the seat, stepped on the accelerator hard, and the car "whooshed" out.

"Hey, my car! Wait, don't run, you damn raccoon!"

A few minutes later, Star Lord Quill held the front hood of the car and panted heavily. Rocket Raccoon sat in the driver's seat and picked his ears and said, "Who did you say was an uninspected and unquarantined wild animal?"

"You are so cruel!" Quill gave Rocket Raccoon a middle finger, opened the driver's door, threw the raccoon into the passenger seat, sat back and said, "Stop it, we have to get to the NASA base in Colorado before dark, Lisa is still waiting for us there."

Just after closing the door, Quill wrinkled his nose again and said, "Whether it is for people or wild animals, keeping hygiene is good for health. I will ask them to find a place for you to take a bath."

There was actually a kind of concern in his tone, which made Rocket Raccoon turn his head away awkwardly. He found out. Star Lord Peter Quill is actually a very common good man with a sharp tongue and a soft heart. He seems careless, cynical, and a little stupid, but he can always express his concern for others inadvertently without making others feel panic and embarrassment.

Rocket Raccoon held his two little paws, looked at the endless road in front of the car and said: "I have a hunch, you can understand it as the intuition of a beast. This matter may not be so simple. Are you really ready?"

Quill's hand holding the steering wheel tightened for a while, but he still pretended not to care and said: "I have been in the interstellar society for so many years. What dangers have I not seen? Have I told you? This notorious interstellar pirate leader Yondu can actually be regarded as my adoptive father and master."

Rocket Raccoon widened his eyes, staring at Quill and said: "Oh my God, do you know that he chased me up and down in the past few months, don't tell me that you have a share here!"

"Of course not, I have been independent for a long time. Yondu has an extremely bad temper. In addition to scolding and beating people, he only gets drunk. Be quiet, I can't stand him, so after I grow up, I won't work with the Marauders. "

"I dare say. This is the most correct decision you have made." Rocket Raccoon sighed and said: "The interstellar situation is going to be reshuffled. Asgard wants to join the game and show its sincerity in maintaining interstellar security. It always needs to set a target. Who do you think is the most suitable?"

"I don't care whether the Marauders die or not." Quill shook his head and said: "But I know very well. Yondu can't die. In addition to his first-class ability to save his life, who do you think he was working for before? Without a backer, how could the Marauders survive so long?"

One person and one raccoon kept chatting, occasionally revealing some of their views on the interstellar society, and just like that, the car soon drove to the NASA space base in Colorado.

Lisa is a very common successful career woman. She is not only an employee of NASA, but also a commander before Quill left the earth.

Seeing this lady again, Quill had mixed feelings. What made him happy was that Lisa was in good shape, which meant that her life in recent years should be smooth sailing. What made him feel a little sad was that from the way others addressed Lisa, she should have been married and even had children, and her face had aged a lot.

Quill and Lisa hugged each other. Lisa looked at Quill with red eyes and said, "That's great, Peter, you're still alive. After that incident, I thought you were dead."

"I'm really sorry, Lisa, I shouldn't have been so impulsive at the time. My youth and ignorance made you pay the price for me, but fortunately, there is still a chance to make up for everything. I heard that you encountered some troubles, and I think I can definitely help."

"Don't say it, Peter, I have never blamed you, but I did encounter some troubles. It would be great if you could come to help me."

The two of them came to the office while reminiscing about the past. Rocket Raccoon pretended to be Quill's pet and didn't speak all the way, but Lisa still instinctively saw the difference in his eyes. After entering the office, she set her eyes on Rocket Raccoon's face.

"Your friend?" Lisa asked, looking at the raccoon.

"I guess so." Quill nodded gently, sat down on the chair, put his hands in front of him, and said: "Thanks to my impulse at the beginning, I wandered in the interstellar society for a long time. I didn't expect that after I came back, the earth had changed so much, and humans also began to explore the interstellar society."

After speaking, Quill looked up at the scene in the office. There were too many strange items here that had never appeared in the era when he left.

Lisa lowered her head and said, "I know it wasn't your fault when you had a dispute with Mandello, but the director who came in didn't want me to get involved too much, so I couldn't change your fate of being fired."

"And you impulsively drove the Kree spacecraft away and headed for the depths of the stars. I can't imagine what kind of danger you went through to finally come back here, but I have always felt guilty."

"So Peter, if the situation wasn't really serious, I would never ask you for help."

"Of course, I know you, Lisa. If you weren't so self-reliant and self-reliant, then the position of NASA director wouldn't be enough to accommodate you. Talent, I have always felt guilty for interfering with your career, but if we only feel guilty, then we should not do anything. "

Quail said jokingly, and he successfully made Lisa laugh. She shook her head and said, "I am not so emotional when facing others. Okay, we really have to talk about business."

Lisa smiled, walked to sit opposite him, and said, "The good news is that because of the development of aerospace technology, I also have a broader career space."

Lisa handed out a business card. After Quill took it, he found that the position on it was "Chief of the Accident Report Investigation Section of NASA."

Quill raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't remember that the space agency has this department. Is it newly established?"

Lisa nodded and said, "Yes, the development of aerospace technology will inevitably bring more aerospace accidents. I am responsible for handling these accidents. I am already very busy, but recently, the head of NASA has added a more difficult task to this department."

Lisa put her hands on the table and looked at Quill and said, "You should have heard before you left that for many years, countless UFOs have fallen to the earth, as if this is a spacecraft graveyard. At the peak, there are more than 40 UFO investigation reports in a week that I need to deal with."

"Originally, I was used to it, but recently, this matter has become more and more unusual. I am under a lot of pressure for this, but I can't find any clues. Quill, I won't say those polite words. As your friend, I have to ask for your help."

Quill Quill nodded and said, "My ability is limited, but if there is anything I can do to help, I will do my best to help you."

Lisa sighed, but Quill felt a little surprised. He had never seen this strong woman show such a sad face. Then he heard Lisa say, "Most of the UFOs that fell to the earth have been completely destroyed. The pilots, passengers, and important parts of the spacecraft have all burned up due to falling through the atmosphere at high speed."

"But over the years, among so many UFO crashes, there are always a few lucky ones who can still save some things after falling to the ground."

Quell nodded. When he was working, he also heard that something new was found in the remains of a certain UFO, but most of the time those things were not used. At that time, human technology was too backward, and the advanced alien civilization creations could only be piled up in the warehouse and covered with dust.

"Most of these lucky ones didn't carry any dangerous goods, and only spacecraft parts could be dug out, but the small part was terrible... Have you heard of the Mandarin?"

Quil didn't react at all to the rapid change of topic, but Lisa didn't seem to expect him to answer, and explained on her own: "He is a notorious fugitive who has long been entrenched on the remote border of the Eastern country, and the reason why he has been able to survive for so long is because of the mysterious Ten Commandments."

"The Ten Commandments are one of the treasures brought by an alien spacecraft that landed on the earth. If they are taken away by people with bad intentions, it will bring terrible disasters."

"You mean..." Quill had a bad premonition.

"The director of the space agency who fired you has already secured his position. Unfortunately, another UFO crashed in the Rocky Mountains and is well preserved. The director believes that there may be treasures like the Ten Commandments in this spacecraft."

Lisa closed her eyes and said in a sad tone: "He believes that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration should have the authority to fully investigate this UFO. He thinks we should take the initiative to compete with the FBI, SHIELD or similar agencies for the right to investigate this spacecraft."

"For this, he has sent out two scientific expedition teams, but they were completely wiped out. The team members also included Captain Koch, old Rayman, and Professor Delta, who will retire in a few months."

Quil opened his eyes wide, stared at Lisa, and raised his voice and said, "How dare he?! They are just some scientific expedition personnel, not agents. How can he send them to die?!"

Lisa covered her eyes and said, "I have emphasized this to him a long time ago, but I can't stop him at all. He has been blinded by a powerful force. He believes that in this era of everyone heading towards the stars, NASA should occupy a more important position and he should have a greater voice. If no one gives him, then he will fight for it himself."

"But he is doing stupid things, too stupid!" Quill gritted his teeth and cursed, then he looked at Lisa and said, "Do you want me to investigate that spaceship?"

"No, on the contrary, I oppose anyone to investigate that spaceship. My rich professional experience tells me that there are no treasures on it, only There are endless dangers, so. I hope you can stop anyone who wants to investigate it, especially our colleagues, and don't let them die. "

Lisa looked into Quill's eyes and said, "I will send you to the forward base for the spacecraft crash investigation under an official name that makes sense, but what you have to do is not to approach the spacecraft, but to stop the people sent by the subsequent director, using any method, even kidnapping them. "

Quill also looked into Lisa's eyes and said, "I understand your good intentions, Lisa, but you should know that this is not the solution to the problem. "

"The solution to the problem should not be given by us." Lisa's eyes were full of meaning. She looked at Quill and said, "This matter should be under the jurisdiction of SHIELD. Do you understand what I mean?"

The light outside the window dimmed, and the reflection on the surface of the Hudson River shone into the house through the thin gauze curtains. The hand holding the feather pen finished writing another paragraph. The light outside the window fell on the end of the last stroke of ink, like a faint light coming out of a door that had just opened a crack.

"I understood what Lisa meant. Of course, in my short career, I have dealt with SHIELD agents, and I know exactly which part of the world they are responsible for security - the part that ordinary people, that is, me at that time, would never be able to touch, the part buried deep under the water in the extremely cold iceberg.

There must be something in that spaceship.

I am so sure because I saw unspeakable fear in Lisa's eyes, in the eyes of this lady whose every wrinkle is engraved with strength."
